Practice forgiveness from "summary" of Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop
Forgiveness is not about excusing someone else's behavior or letting them off the hook for what they did. It's not about pretending that everything is okay or that what happened doesn't matter. Forgiveness is about releasing yourself from the negative emotions that are holding you back. It's about freeing yourself from the anger, resentment, and bitterness that are weighing you down. When you hold onto grudges and refuse to forgive those who have wronged you, you are only hurting yourself. You are allowing the actions of others to continue to have power over you, long after the fact. By practicing forgiveness, you are taking back control of your own emotions and breaking free from the chains of the past. Forgiveness is not a one-time event, but a continuous process. It's something that you have to work at every day, consciously choosing to let go of the negative emotions that are keeping you stuck. It's about recognizing that holding onto anger and resentment is only harming yourself, and making the choice to release those toxic emotions. Forgiveness is not easy, and it's not always a quick fix. It takes time and effort to work through your emotions and truly let go of the past. But the benefits of forgiveness are worth it. When you choose to forgive, you are freeing yourself from the burden of carrying around anger and resentment. You are opening yourself up to new possibilities and allowing yourself to move forward with your life. By practicing forgiveness, you are not only releasing yourself from the pain of the past, but you are also creating space for healing and growth. You are giving yourself the opportunity to let go of the past and embrace a brighter future. So, choose to forgive, not for the sake of others, but for your own well-being and peace of mind.
